sudo chown -R debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor

No

24

Same error if you manually run that command?
Yes.

25

Did you make changes to /etc/tor/torrc?

Whonixcheck is looking for a directory /var/lib/tor/.tor which doesnā€™t exist.

I changed the owner to root then back to debian-tor and I was able to start tor but I get this error now when doing whonixcheck.

Strangeā€¦ does echo $(timedatectl) work?

Iā€™m reluctant to spend time troubleshooting this because

  1. itā€™s a unique config issue (so limited benefit to others)
  2. you donā€™t remember exactly what changes youā€™ve made (otherwise, you would reverse them and not need any help)

If you have a clean snapshot, get what you need, and revert the VM. You should always make a clean snapshot after initial install. And itā€™s always a good idea to clone the VM before tinkering.

If you absoutely need to salvage this instance, then we can try to troubleshoot further.

Itā€™s used here.

Try running manually in a terminal.

timedatectl ; echo $?
